jillybean Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Playing transfers after 1m (1N) is this good enough to play in 2♥? V vs. N MP [hv=pc=n&s=sq5h97543d93cakt4&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1d1n?]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think its good enough to X, but transferring does not appeal to me - its not the same as if partner opened 1N, he's not guaranteed to have any heart support. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Definitely not good enough to transfer. I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Very close between pass and X, but I would pass. Transfering to ♥ is horrible IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd double, but prefer pass over bidding hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd double, but its close. If we have a heart fit, defending 1N x'd looks tasty. If we don't have a heart fit, I'll be glad I didn't transfer, but maybe we'll still set it. Even then, I would expect some protection for -180 v -200. Good problem.

bluecalm Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I would double but I think pass is ok.I don't like transfers, I want a bid for both majors, weakish hand here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think this hand is worth a DBL of 1 NT. Your side has the balance of the points even if pard is a mimimum. If pard has a reasonably good opener -- solid 13 or 14 points, LHO may need to do some running. It looks like we've got 2 of the 3 other suits covered. In any case, 2 ♥ may not be a good contract if pard has just a doubleton. That may raise the aura -1 DBLd or down 2 which are terrible matchpoint results. If you had some good ♥s instead of ♣, -- ♥ AKxxx -- then there's no problem bidding 2 ♥. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm doubling and not afraid of leading a 2nd best ♥ against 1nt but if lho pulls it we could really hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Here's the full hand, I did transfer to ♥ for a 13.5/17 board. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe I have too many gadgets :) [hv=pc=n&s=sq5h97543d93cakt4&w=s9872ht8dq854c975&n=skt64haq6dkjt62c8&e=saj3hkj2da7cqj632&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=p1d1n2dp2hppp]399|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Oh, but they are in a lot of trouble if you rip 1N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Getting an 80% board for a normal partial seems strange. How many did your partner make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduran1216 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 this is the basement for a penalty double, but its a double nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
